 | Rockbuster by Gloria Skurzynski
Seventeen-year-old Tommy would much rather play guitar than work in the mines, but when his father is killed in an underground explosion and his uncle is murdered because of his involvement in the miners' union, he is drawn into the depths of the mining world. Tommy brings his guitar with him, and soon the men invite him to play at parties after hours, where Tommy earns extra money. He also learns the songs of real-life legendary unionist Joe Hill, whose words have become the rally cries of the minors, and meets Eugenie, the daughter of a mine owner. But Tommy's sense of self is turned upside-down when Eugenie won't tell her parents about their relationship, one of his music nights turns into a shooting match, and Joe Hill, sentenced for execution for murder, beseeches Tommy to continue his work in the union. Tommy realizes he must make decisions that will alter the course of his life, and possibly the lives of many others. This is a powerful story based on the lives of Utah miners before unions came into power. AUTHOR: Gloria Skurzynski

 | Redgauntlet by David Hewitt, G. A. Wood, Walter Scott
Redgauntlet tells the engrossing tale of Darsie Latimer, who sets out in 1765 for the wilds of Dumfriesshire in a quest to discover the mystery of his parentage. Away from home, Darsie is confronted by a world of violence, duplicity, and corruption: fishermen who interpret the law to their benefit, smugglers who smuggle as though in legitimate business, and many who maintain covert allegiance to the exiled Stewarts. He is kidnapped by Edward Hugh Redgauntlet and gets involved in a final attempt to restore the Stewarts, the family who ruled Scotland for more than 300 years. AUTHOR: David Hewitt, G. A. Wood, Walter Scott
